>> nick cannon, her husband, is a comedian and emerging star in his own right. he is everywhere, tv's "america's got talent," and even an executive at nickelodeon. the couple met in 2005 when nick introduced mariah at the teen choice awards. >> mariah carey! >> i would say i spoke our relationship into existence because every time i did an interview, people would ask me who my celebrity crush was. i would always say, "mariah carey." >> reporter: the couple divides their time between their homes in los angeles and this 12,000 square foot penthouse apartment in new york. in 2006, mariah, then single, gave us a glimpse of what selling 200 million albums can buy you. mariah, i've never seen anything like this. it's like a movie set. >> that's a pretty big statement coming from you. >> reporter: the closet is bigger than most people's living

>> it was good news, but it was scary news at the same time. >> reporter: were you worried about carrying a child? >> i don't think i understood the enormity and the magnitude of what it really does to your body. like it's not just, oh, you don't look pretty and you have a bump. no. >> reporter: you had a very tough pregnancy. >> yeah, carrying two babies. unless somebody's been through it, it's difficult to understand what i went through because of my pregnancy was very unique in terms of what happened to me. >> reporter: the public never knew about her long periods of bed rest, false labors and several emergency trips to the hospital. what we did see was a very pregnant, very public, yet irrepressible mariah releasing a christmas album and performing for the president. but mariah says that late in her pregnancy she could barely move, barely get out of bed by herself. >> i was afraid i wasn't going to be able to walk properly again. it was a huge strain.

i would sit, and then someone would need to help me up. i couldn't go even to the loo by myself. i was just like, "oh, what are we doing, we going to the hospital?"

album brings new pressures. i know the last thing you want to be called is predictable, right? >> it's really important for me, for my fans to trust me. and to not go so far in the opposite direction that they don't recognize me anymore. it's trying to evolve. it's trying to try new things without becoming a new thing. ♪ when you're 15 feeling like there's nothing to figure out ♪ >> reporter: taylor first became a star as a teen, innocently singing among butterflies about first kisses. but she's trying not to grow up too fast. ♪ i didn't know it at 15 >> reporter: how do you kind of transition from that young girl to a more mature artist? >> i think a mistake that sometimes gets made, when there's pressure to grow up, you look at that artist and you think you didn't have to grow up 10 years in a month. no, that's not what you had to do. >> reporter: you didn't have to go boom. >> i want to live a life.

i want to life my life one year at a time, and when i'm 22 i want to be 22. and when i'm 23 i want to be 23, whatever that is. >> reporter: and for this hard-working young woman, there's always something new in her personal life. taylor, you know, i'm going to have to ask you about the love of your life, right? >> meredith? >> reporter: how did you know i was going to do that? >> because she's just a little fuzzy cat. and she's so cute. >> reporter: meredith is the star of taylor's tweets, and a social media sensation. and with this she meowed her way to over 1 million hits on youtube. >> the thing about meredith is she's like -- she's just a cat, so she has no idea she's really kind of famous. it's hilarious. >> reporter: but meredith the cat isn't all that's being talked about. this past summer rumors of a swift romance with conor kennedy were the talk of the town.

the paparazzi pursued them with abandon. they called them the new camelot. and then, there was her reported winter romance with one direction's harry styles. i know you don't talk about your personal life, and i want to respect that. why are you so private about that? >> i think, for me, i just think that my personal stories sound better in a song than in an interview in quotes. >> reporter: and so, with each new hit song, like "we are never ever getting back together," comes the new guessing game. is it john mayer, joe jonas, taylor lautner or jake gyllenhaal? which famous taylor ex is the song really about? and is a scarf just a scarf? or is it a clue connected to a scarf she wore while photographed with jake gyllenhaal? people sort of speculate. they imagine. they think they get clues. >> they kind of draw their own stories. >> reporter: you're wearing a scarf in a music video, and everyone's like, gee, that scarf looks like the scarf she was

wearing when she was photographed with jake gyllenhaal, perhaps -- >> you know -- >> reporter: it's funny right? >> for me, the one thing that i keep really close is the identity of who these people, who these songs are really about. >> reporter: is it sometimes hard to get people to come into your world? because i don't know, if i hung out with you i'd be a little afraid you were going to write a song about me. >> the only time it's been an issue was when i was, like, going through a really bad breakup with a guy, and he's like, "you better not write about this." and i'm like, "oh, i won't." >> reporter: did you? >> yes. >> reporter: do you ever hear from these people who maybe recognize themselves in a song, and are like, "hi, guess what, i really didn't appreciate that." >> well, they don't say it that gracefully, or that -- with that kind of an eloquent tone. if they're not liking what's written about them, or what they think is written about them, or what they assume and presume is about them, i probably hit the nail right on the head. it's probably really true.
